I would describe this as renaming saved_pfn to saved_iova

This existing code is fishy. nib is either an IOVA passed to
vfio_pin_pages() or a GFN passed to gfn_to_hva(). These are not the
same thing and are not interchangable - writing code like this assumes
that the guest is running with iommu=pt or no iommu.

Someone should look at it..

Otherwise it looks OK
